The western market is just way too big on nostalgia, gamefreak knows this, so they are gonna shill kanto as much as possible, usually the japs are the opposite of this, they want new shit every year, sure they also like their nostalgia but they keep it for special moments
Take for example Super sentai and Power rangers
>The japs make a completely new season every year, and if it is an anniversary year or a special, maybe you will see cameos of the past seasons
>At the end of their first try americans where really fucking scared of starting over so they just kind of frankenstained together different seasons and it worked, eventually they managed to start over but they will forever keep referencing mighty morphin, all of their stuff nowdays revolves around their original green ranger and nostalgia
But i don't blame them, super sentai has the advantage of only having to appeal to japan to sell well, appealing to the entire world is diffult man, and when you tried something and it became a hit worldwide sometimes it can seem like your only safe bet to make money, in other words there is just to many normal people that only know gen 1 and even think gen2 is part of gen 1 they outnumber us so they win, kanto will always be there, i recommend you try to be positive and pick your favorite kanto pokemon , be happy that it will always be in all the new games
